Komon Stage Shirokawacho: A Build-to-Order Land Development in Yamagata City
This is a presentation of Komon Stage Shirokawacho, a new land subdivision in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture. The development consists of four plots, with three currently available for sale. Each plot is a substantial size, ranging from approximately 234.51 to 353.55 square meters, offering ample space for a custom-built home. The location is highly convenient, within an 11-minute walk of the Yamagata Prefectural Government offices and close to local amenities.
This is a build-conditioned land sale. The land purchase contract only becomes valid on the condition that a construction contract with the seller, Sekisui House, Ltd., is concluded within three months of signing the land contract. If a construction contract is not established within this period, the land sale contract becomes null and void, and any deposits received will be refunded in full without interest. Applications and contracts are not accepted on-site.
Critical agent notes have been provided and are translated here. Equipment/Facilities: None, as this is land not requiring a development permit. Special Notes/Remarks: The property is subject to road slope restrictions, adjacent land slope restrictions, and sunlight regulations. A farmland conversion notification has been filed with the Yamagata City Agricultural Committee (Notification No. 11, dated August 1, 2024). A water supply share fee (including consumption tax) of 118,700 yen per lot applies (covers connections for pipes 20mm or smaller, membership fees, review and inspection fees, and sewer inspection fees). A "Townscape Guideline" has been established to form a favorable streetscape. The land sale is contingent upon the aforementioned construction contract condition.
The development is promoted by Sekisui House, featuring their "Kinen Bika" (Aging Gracefully) concept aimed at creating communities that gain value over time. Buyers can benefit from their "Individual Free Design" approach, tailoring homes to specific lots and lifestyles, a robust 30-year initial warranty with a renewable "U-Trust System," and the "5 Trees" ecological garden plan that uses native species to support local birds and butterflies.
The area of Shirokawacho in Yamagata City offers a blend of urban convenience and access to nature. An interesting local fact is that Yamagata City is famously known as the "Fruit Kingdom" of Japan, renowned for its production of cherries, pears, and grapes. The closest major landmark is the historic Yamagata Castle (Kajo Park), a reconstructed castle grounds and popular cherry blossom viewing spot located just a few kilometers from the development site, offering a beautiful green space and a connection to the region's samurai history.
